In vitro and in vivo activity of contezolid (MRX-I) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

In vitro and in vivo activity of contezolid (MRX-I) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2018 May 21;: Authors: Shoen C, DeStefano M, Hafkin B, Cynamon M Abstract The in vitro activity of contezolid (MRX-I) against clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis was evaluated using a microtiter broth dilution assay. MRX-I was as effective in vitro as linezolid (LZD). MRX-I and LZD were subsequently studied in BALB/c mice infected intranasally with M. tuberculosis Erdman. MRX-I and LZD at 100mg/kg significantly reduced the bacterial load in lungs compared to the untreated early and late controls. PMID: 29784848 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
